* if you study stuff like "fine art" for example and mock around with pottery classes and get a paper at the end, I don't consider that as a degree. i consider it a paper proving that you wasted a number of years and a lot of taxpayer dollars fooling around with clay and crayons
Quite the ignorant thing to say. All degrees while may not produce a job at the end have value and knowledge that one must learn. Clay and crayons? Really? Perhaps you should take a fine arts class at a university to really understand that it is not a waste of time OR taxpayers dollars. A society doesn't only run on math/science.
